Subtitles and closed captions

The Videos app includes an Alternate Track button you can tap to choose subtitles and captions offered by the video you’re watching. Standard subtitles and captions are usually listed, but if you prefer special accessible captions, such as subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH), you can set iPad to list them instead if they’re available.

Prefer accessible subtitles and closed captions for the hard of hearing in the list of available subtitles and captions. Turn on Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitles & Captioning > Closed Captions + SDH. This also turns on subtitles and captions in the Videos app.

Choose from available subtitles and captions. In Videos, tap while watching a video.

Customize your subtitles and captions. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitles & Captioning > Style, where you can choose an existing caption style or create a new style based on your choice of:

Font, size, and color Background color and opacity

Text opacity, edge style, and highlight

Not all video content includes closed captions.

Mono audio and balance

Mono Audio combines the sound from the left and right channels into a mono signal played on both channels. This way you can hear everything with either ear, or through both ears with one channel set louder.

Turn Mono Audio on or off and adjust the balance. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Mono Audio.

Assignable tones

You can assign distinctive ringtones to people in your contacts list for audible FaceTime caller ID. You can also assign distinct tones to alert you of a variety of other events, including new voicemail, new mail, sent mail, Tweet, Facebook Post, and reminders. See Sounds and silence on page 29.

You can purchase ringtones from the iTunes Store on iPad. See Chapter 22, iTunes Store, on page 91.
